I found this on infendo but it looks like it originated on the Gaming Age forums. Their forums seem to be overloaded right now, but the pictures on infendo are interesting.

I was checking them out on GAF before it crashed as well... It's a very cool book and I wish I had one.

One of the more interesting pics is what appears to be a bunch of empty rev cases, you can actually see the back of some!! Not that it really shows anything new, but cool none the less. (I see Infendo points that out as well)

It seems as if someone found most of them by address bar hacking some geocities site... I wish I knew their actual origin.

Wow! If this is legit it's a pretty cool find.

The evolution of the remote is really neat because it actually has one of my suggestions for the remote in an earlier design. I suggested they surround the A button with four other buttons like the design on my TV remote and there it is exactly in the second design. Though that design doesn't have the d-pad so Nintendo probably intends on it to replace those buttons.

Yep. And it can now be confirmed that everyone with a GameCube Component Cable will be fine, but everyone else will be screwed by the Revolution.

BigJim · « **Reply #4 on:** February 08, 2006, 11:20:10 AM »

The Cube component cable doesn't carry audio. Is there a good shot of the Rev back? I can't tell if there is a separate audio jack on the one photo I saw.

It looks like power/AV/vent/USBs to me. Nothing specifically for audio, for those with Cube-components.

I guess one of those USB jacks may be used for the positioning bars too...?

That's awesome...but what the hell is up with that green and red picture!? So many Revs...is it really ready for mass production?

ruby_onix · « **Reply #6 on:** February 08, 2006, 11:38:43 AM »

The Rev won't need audio. It'll have a tinny GB Micro-style speaker in the Revmote.

And the positioning bars are supposed to be wireless, otherwise you'd be limited in figuring out where to put them.

Rev parts

Revmote shapes

Unrelated but very cool DVD

The original source for the pics seems to be here.

Just keep increasing the number at the end to see more pics. Some will give you errors.

Wow - after all the obvious fake info about the Revolution this stuff looks much more plausible. I doubt anyone could photoshop that stuff. Still, interesting as it is, it doesn't shed much light on the stuff we still know nothing about - CPU, GPU etc :-(

What in the name of reggie!? Nintendo brain control???2

Mario Kart Revolution woot!!!1
Mario Kart Sketch

JonLeung · « **Reply #9 on:** February 08, 2006, 12:19:23 PM »

Nice try, but that's not "Brain Control", unless that's the name of a Brain Training / Brain Flex / Brain whatever game.

I think they use that device to see how well it actually stimulates the various parts of the brain while playing that game of intellectuabilitationism.

This was cool.

I dunno what that book that the photos are taken from is for (can anyone read any of the Japanese text?) but it has some mad stuff in it - check out the wacky zen garden:

EDIT: Copied inline image to my site and relinked - is this acceptable?

Hey guys, don't forget about the max width rule when you post images...

They can't be more than 640 pixels wide. I hyperlinked the images that broke it.

Also, thejeek, welcome to the forums. Next time you want to point out a picture, upload it to imageshack or photobucket first like the other guys in the thread did. Also, be careful of the 640 pixels wide rule.

We need to protect everyone's H-Scroll.

thejeek · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08, 2006, 01:30:17 PM »

OK. Will be careful not to do that again.

Nephilim · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2006, 01:52:44 PM »

Looks real to me
some awsome digital art in that, if only they used them to do game covers

ShyGuy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 08, 2006, 02:47:52 PM »

I like the picture that shows a bunch of Mario characters lined up for size comparisons. Wario is really a huge tub of lard!

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #16 on:** February 08, 2006, 02:54:29 PM »

As for the different color Nintendo usually shows their later consoles in a number of color some find there way into the market place (Japan, ie Spice Gamecube) some never see the light of day.) The red and green were color that were first introduced in the prototype they showed at E3, so maybe this would be a good sign that none of the colors have been droped.

On a side note it really doesn't cost that much more to change the colors of the outside shell, since they could do multiple colors of the system on one assembly line. (Doing every one which is common in some setups, and having the machines differenciate by serial or do it by handle at the end of the line.)

Time for they hype train to start again!

I'm glad they decided against the 4 buttons around the A button, because that would have been a complete mind****...

D'oh! That was my fault. I thought 800x600 was okay, not 640x480. And I'm even the one who pestered Bloodworth to allow 640x480.

...

Hey Bloodworth, can we have 800x600?

Truthliesn1seyes · « **Reply #19 on:** February 08, 2006, 03:48:31 PM »

That picture of the zen garden looks like a small model of Japan in the center surrounded by a revolution (the swirls). Also, there is the picture of the Animal Crossing characters and in it, all the characters are wearing the same shirt with the same swirl/revolution.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2006, 04:45:03 PM »

The zen garden obviously is symbolic of Ninty's effect on the market with Japan as the epicenter...(To explain more clearly, picture a water drop landing in a bowl of water...Notice how the ripples grow outward?)

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2006, 04:50:18 PM »

The Doppler effect, exactly. As the water droplet moves towards you, its sound waves are compressed, creating ripples that will shake the industry.....or something!

edit: bill edits like ninja =o

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #22 on:** February 08, 2006, 04:56:15 PM »

It took you three minutes to make your post? =O (I didn't think many people here would even know what the Doppler effect even IS, so I edited it out)

Holy holy holy holy dammit. I want this book so badly. Spectacular design/artwork, I love it.
